A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward. -- Jean Paul Richter


Points of Interest – 11/9/07

InFormers: Robots in the News

  1. If you’re into Dinobot, the Predacon-turned-Maximal from Beast Wars, you might be interested in the new pictures that Ben Yee has added of the original toy to his review.

Video Power

  1. IGN celebrates the impending release of Super Mario Galaxy with a look back at The History of Super Mario Bros.

    They need to play more Super Mario Bros. 2 if they think there are no secrets, however. There are some other inaccuracies, but I’m not going to name them all here. Suffice to say, it comes off a knowledgable about Mario’s evolution in gaming, but less so about the Mario games themselves.

  2. Not to be outdone, Eurogamer has one, too!
  3. AMN turns back the clock again with part two of Nintendo vs. SEGA: The Console Wars.

    Incidently, regarding SEGA’s mascot concepts, they’ve since denied that Cream has anything to do with the rabbit shown at the time.

    A dark part of my soul wishes to see how the “Sonic & Madonna” idea would have come to fruition.

  4. Game Daily has a piece that complements it nicely as they assemble a gallery of Mario vs. Sonic: Battle of the Mascots, pitting similar characters on both sides of the fence against one another to see who comes out on top.
  5. ScrewAttack.com opens the vault again to peer deep into Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

    I think a friend of mine had this on NES at one time…

  6. GameTrailers has an in-depth interview that explains the differences between each system’s version of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008.
  7. Heh… Next Generation has a new feature up…

    THE MAKING OF: Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness

    Me: “Meh… wait, wasn’t that…?”

    An in-depth analysis of a game that went horribly wrong.

    Me: …NOW we’re talkin’!

    The only thing greater than seeing what people were thinking when making a great game is what the hell went wrong when making a bad one.

  8. Go Nintendo has an awesome exclusive video looking at Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2.

    Well, near-awesome; the host starts talking just a bit too soon and abruptly for my liking. Still, coolness.

  9. Reggie Fils-Aime’s appearance on FBN (Fox Business News?).
  10. Still sucks that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. was canned, but at least some last screens have popped up.
  11. Mario and Sonic decided to show up in person in the UK to promote their Olympic Games title.
  12. Behold, the World’s Most Expensive Games, compiled into a handy Top 10 format for easy reading.
  13. What’s better than ten? How about eleven? As in, eleven unreleased NES games.
